    We're Still at the Table

    We're wrapping up Season 1 with a Facebook Live episode--full of laughter, stories, and a few surprises. In this finale, we share our personal (and slightly cringey) Taylor Swift connection, give our unfiltered thoughts on Cracker Barrel's rebrand, and look ahead to what's coming next: bonus holiday specials and Season 2 next summer. And for the big finish? We hand the mic to our 9-year-old son, who closes out the season in the only way he knows how: with pure, unfiltered kid energy. Thank you for listening, sharing, and pulling up a chair with us all summer long. We'll see you soon for the Halloween special--and back again next year for Season 2!

    A Bible Breakup Story

    What happens when people leave your church? It’s never easy—sometimes it’s silly, sometimes it’s painful, and sometimes it feels personal. In this episode, Jason and Nicole take a fresh look at the story of Paul, Barnabas, and John Mark—the original “Bible breakup.” Along the way, they share their own stories of church departures, rival churches that aren’t rivals, and the challenge of blessing and releasing people with grace. The good news? Even breakups can be redeemed. Sometimes God writes a reunion into the story. Send us a text Thanks for pulling up a chair at Table for Two.

    Deconstruction Isn't a Dirty Word

    What if asking hard questions about your faith isn't rebellion, but a path toward deeper trust in Jesus? In this honest and hope-filled episode, Jason and Nicole unpack what "deconstruction" really means, why it is not a dirty word, and how it can lead to a stronger, more authentic walk with God. From small-town church politics to generational gaps, cultural Christianity, and personal convictions, they address the real reasons people in Appalachia (and beyond) rethink their faith. Along the way, they share personal stories, biblical insights, and practical encouragement for those who are wrestling and for those walking alongside them. Highlights include: Why deconstruction can be a healthy, biblical processHow personal convictions can harm when forced on othersCommon cultural and church experiences that spark deconstructionBiblical examples of "holy deconstruction" from Jesus, the prophets, and the disciplesEncouragement for rebuilding faith on the true foundation--JesusWhether you're in the middle of deconstruction, curious about it, or skeptical, this episode offers grace, perspective, and the reminder that the deepest worship often comes with the deepest wrestling.

    Submission Revisited: Marriage, Power & Partnership

    What does biblical submission really look like—and is it anything like what we were taught? In this follow-up episode, we dig deeper into how Scripture consistently flips human power structures on their heads. From Deborah and Jael to Mary and the Samaritan woman, we explore how God calls and equips people others overlook—including women, outcasts, and even children. We talk honestly about servant leadership, mutual surrender in marriage, and why submission used as control is no longer Christlike—it’s oppression. Nicole shares part of her journey in accepting a call to preach while navigating old ideas about home leadership, and Jason reminds us that Jesus isn’t looking for the strongest—He’s looking for the most surrendered. Whether you’re wrestling with gender roles, marriage dynamics, or ministry leadership, this conversation invites you to lay down fear and control and pick up love, equality, and mutual grace.

    Red Flags and Revival: Counseling a Reddit Story (Part 2)

    What do discipline, biblical parenting, and Frasier all have in common? They're all on the table in this honest, heartfelt, and occasionally hilarious second episode of Red Flags and Revival. This week, Jason and Nicole respond to a Reddit story about a mom who disciplines her son for laughing at a classmate being bullied—only to have her co-parent question whether she’s being too harsh. What unfolds is a deeper conversation about how grace, discipline, and unity shape the way we raise our kids. Along the way, we talk about: *Why “I’m sorry, but…” isn’t a real apologyHow united parenting builds trust and prevents divisionWhat the story of Jacob and Esau can teach us about favoritism and fractured familiesWhy grace doesn’t mean removing consequences—it means walking through them together Plus, we finally answer the theological question you didn’t know you had: Do we like big BUTs? (Spoiler: Nope.) Whether you're raising kids, were a kid once, or just love seeing biblical truth collide with messy reality, this episode is for you. 🎧 Pull up a chair—there’s room at the table.
